After Hurricane Irene hit Massachusettes last fall, I was without power for 4 days. When the power was restored, I decided to make one of my favorite comfort dishes- Bacon, Bean and Vegetable Soup. This is a quick fix, no fuss recipe for whatever ails you. The beans are creamy, the broth is flavorful, the bacon is smokey and the vegetables and simple spices make this a go-to recipe whenever I've had a tough week.
